“And she came over for breakfast last Sunday.
“‘I suddenly remembered everybody.
I remembered the 4-year-old.
I remembered the pregnant woman with the baby.
I remembered the gang member that I tried to keep alive by squeezing two units of blood.’
And she’s just listing these names.
And she’s, you know, getting teary-eyed, and she finishes.”
In Wyle’s conversation with his mother, he asked why she hadn’t shared her pain with him.
“I said, ‘My goodness, Mom, I was on a medical show for 15 years.
You never told me that.’
And she said, ‘But it felt real,’ and it brought all that up for me.
Isn’t that funny?'
And I asked her, I said, ‘The 4-year-old, when was that?’
She said, ‘Oh, I think your brother was probably about 4 at the time.
I think that’s why it hit me.’
From 1994 to 2009, Wyle played Dr. John Carter on NBC’s hit medical dramaER.
In his new project for Max, he’s the star but also a writer and executive producer.
